Addiction Disruptions Take a Toll on You

You know that your life balance has been intruded upon by addiction. You don’t want to feed addiction’s shenanigans, but it’s painful to watch your loved one go from one difficult situation to another without helping them at all.

You want someone to tell you what to do so addiction will stay in the rearview mirror. You tried doing what you think and feel makes sense. You’ve tried following traditional recovery methods.

You’re generally have a positive mindset, but . . .

Exhaustion Slowly Depletes Your Energy

You don’t know how to respond when they do the same destructive behavior again. Should you say something? Stay quiet? Set a boundary? Everyone gives you different advice that leaves you more confused than ever.

You feel like you’re walking on eggshells in your own home. You keep making the same mistakes but don’t know what else to do. You’re tired of feeling helpless every time something happens.

You need expert guidance, but you don’t want a long-term commitment yet. You just want someone who understands your situation to tell you what to do next.

Have You Ever Felt . . .

You have tried everything but nothings has worked for long?

An impulse of helpless every time something happens?

You would like a new perspective that empowers you?

In your heart of hearts you want to know you have really tried everything. You want expert guidance, but you are not ready for a longterm commitment.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

Here's What's Really Happening

They’re not lying to hurt you – their brain chemistry is driving behavior that conflicts with their genuine intentions.

When you remember biology drives behavior, you can respond strategically instead of emotionally. Your addicted family member will feel the difference.

You can lead!

There is a way forward.

When we talk, I’ll want you to share:

Then, I’ll want to know what you think, do and say as you’ve witnessed your loved one’s struggles. I’ll have suggestions.

I support you to always make the final call!

You'll get:

In our 90-minute call, I’ll teach you how to:

Recognize addiction patterns vs. authentic communication
Set incremental boundaries without black and white ultimatums
Respond rather than react
Protect yourself without giving up on them
You’ll come out of the startle, react, downward spiral loop.
You’ll not only have renewed hope, you’ll be empowered to act!
Clarity about why past approaches didn’t work
Clarity about an empowering approach
Clarity about Your Next Best Step

Give yourself the gift of clarity.

This is perfect for you if:

You're a parent of an adult child (ages 20-40) struggling with alcohol or drug addiction
You're a spouse whose partner's addiction is affecting the family but your partner won't get help 
Your family is in an ongoing situation (not crisis) and you feel stuck and don't know what to do next 
You've tried everything - therapy, interventions, treatment - but nothing has worked long-term 
You feel guilty about setting boundaries or feel blamed for "enabling"
You want to test my approach before committing to something longer
You need specific guidance on how to respond to particular behaviors or situations

I'm not sure how much I can add except to say I really wish I had found you about 5 years ago. Your approach helped me to see how the nature of my interactions with Chris allowed him to continue with his addiction instead of facing it and getting treatment. He and I would both be in a better place if I had the benefit of your program and groups years ago. In looking back, I am amazed at how many mental health professionals also turned a blind eye to his addiction. He treated with so many psychologists and psychiatrists. Not one of them expressed concern to me about it even though they had signed releases. Not one of them talked to me about the family dynamics that were going on. For years. This allowed me to lull myself into a false sense of security-I thought that since the psychologists and psychiatrists were taking care of him, that I didn't have to be involved except by paying their bills. I wish one of them had referred me to a family program like yours. Once you helped me to change the dynamics of the relationship, everything started to change. I can't thank you enough.
